CHAPTER 61
“Hello, how may we assist you?” The officer asked David. “Oh, um.. hi. I’m David Lynch. My father is Mr. Lynch, the owner of D Royals restaurant. He owns…” “That is absolutely great, sir. Now, why are you here?” The lady in black cut Dave short quickly before he narrated his whole wealth story right there. “Ummm… I’m here with regards to a guy held hostage here. Nathan Reed. He was locked up cause he stole an expensive car.” Dave explained explicitly. The lady looked suspiciously at Dave. “Is there a problem, Mr. Lynch? You seem to be interested in this person. Are you perhaps involved in this case yourself?” The police lady asked, scheming to draw words from Dave’s mouth. “No, no. Why would you say such a thing?” he asked, feigning annoyance. “Nathan was my classmate and we were friends in college. So, I want to see him right away!” he ended in a commanding tone. The police officer grinned and gave Dave a ‘I don’t believe you’ look. “Well, Mr. Lynch, if you are Nathan’s

CHAPTER 62
Ms. Johnson looked taken aback but quickly composed herself. "I’m afraid that information is confidential. Our clients’ privacy is of utmost importance." Anastasia leaned forward, her eyes narrowing. "This isn’t just about privacy. We’re being publicly humiliated, and our reputations are at stake." Ms. Johnson sighed, understanding the gravity of their situation. "I understand your frustration, but our agreement with Mr. Humble Bunny is strictly confidential. I can assure you, however, that our partnership with him is legitimate and above board." Charles, who had been quiet until now, spoke up. "What if we told you we believe Mr. Humble Bunny is using illegal means to undermine us? Would that change anything?" Ms. Johnson’s expression softened slightly. "If you have concrete evidence of any illegal activity, we would be obligated to investigate. But without proof, our hands are tied." Dave clenched his fists in frustration. "This isn’t over. We’ll find a way to expose him." Ms.

CHAPTER 63
The trio froze, their faces a mixture of shock and confusion. They had been convinced that Nathan was Mr. Humble Bunny, but now, standing before them was someone entirely different. Charles held his head high as he tried to understand if this would be the point in his life where he would begin to choose facts over beliefs. He believed with all his heart that Nathan was the bunny guy. Not a single soul would have changed his mind. But guess he was wrong. He felt bad for ever having so much belief in his intuition rather then on comprehensive facts. Anastasia was the first to regain her composure. "Who are you?" she demanded, trying to hide the tremor in her voice. The young man smiled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "As I said, I am Mr. Humble Bunny. But you can call me Adrian. Adrian Caldwell." Charles glanced at Dave and Anastasia, trying to gauge their reactions. "So, you're the one who bought ReyLux and trashed the Bunny Diamonds?" he asked cautiously. Adrian nodded. "T

CHAPTER 64
“Sure, April.” Nathan replied. “Are you truly that Bunny dude? Tell me the truth!” She asked. Nathan sighed silently. “No! No I am not. Come on, you want to compare me to that crazily rich guy?” He replied. April went silent for a while. She had confirmed that Nathan was not the Bunny guy. That guy felt like a god. So hard to reach, yet his influence was felt so closely. “I heard that you were released. Look, I know you are not a thief. Dave was the person who framed you. He hates you so much, Nathan and I hear he is planning to do away with the Humble guy. If you are involved in any of this, please, stay away. You are a good guy and you don’t deserve to be treated badly!” April said. Nathan just stood there, speechless, his phone held up against his ear. April truly cared about him. He saw it the day she stood in for him when Dave was trying to bully him. She stood up for him and had a sudden burst of bravery. That was remarkable. It was something Amanda never had. “Um,

CHAPTER 65
“Hey, Neil! Neil, wait up!” Nathan called out, running after Neil who had his AirPods on. After running for a while, he met up with him and stopped him. He was already panting from running that hard. “Hey bro! You gotta keep those AirPods back into their houses. They could get you killed someday.” Nathan said, panting. Neil looked at Nathan. Different emotions encamped around his face. He pushed away any intrusive thoughts and just opened his arms to hug his bro. Nathan was surprised. He had expected Neil to be angry and upset with him. The hug felt good though. “Look, Neil, I am so sorry and I…” “I believe you!” Neil suddenly cut in. “Huh? You mean you believe that I am not a robber?” Nathan asked. Neil nodded yes in response. “Look, man. I’m sorry I doubted you! I just couldn’t believe that any one could be this fucking rich overnight and I still don’t know how you were able to afford that ride, bro. But if there is one thing I am certain of, it’s that my bro a

Cheng bar always held up to it’s magnificient legacy. The building was itself was a big tourist center for poeple who loved to have a great time drinking. It also had a few rooms where guests could spend the night! Adrian sat alone on his barstool, gulping down his champange when Anastasia walked up to him and grabbed a seat right next to him. “You make choices quickly and that is a really smart thing to do, beauty!” Adrian was the first to speak up. “Hi, Mr. Humble Bunny.” Anastasia said bluntly and ordered a glass of red wine and began to sip into her glass of wine. She said nothing more to Adrian, her appearance was loud enough to have sent any message she wanted to deliver. She wore an explicit silk red dress that clung to her body, accentuating her curves, with a plunging neckline that left little to the imagination. Her makeup was flawless. She was a naturally beautifully born lady, but whenever she plastered makeup on her face, she looked like a goddess. Adrian raised

CHAPTER 67
Nathan drove into NexGen Labs with so much confident and enthusiasm. NexGen was tagged the most expensive conglomerate in the planet. It was like a city on its own - a city of the world’s smartest people. Nathan was humbled by the massive space of NexGen. His respect for Elon quadrupled. The man was a legend and was the most ambitious man in the planet. As Nathan drove through the streets of NexGen, all eyes were on his Lamborghini. It was a breath taking sight to behold. He navigated his way through the conglomerate successfully and his car was taken from him right at the main gate to the main terminal. This was the company’s protocol to avoid any security breaches. After confirming that he indeed had a scheduled meeting with sir Elon, he was placed into another car where he would go to the main building where the upper echelons’ office were. As soon as Nathan stepped into the building, he gasped in total shock. This company really stood up to its name; Next Generation Lab

“I beg your pardon, Mr. Fred. I will do anything within my power to retain our relationship. If I have wronged you, I am truly sorry!” Mr. Lynch begged profusely. Fred sighed. “My boss, sir Nathan Reed has given a direct order and there is nothing I can do. Pay back those shares by evening or your company would be shut down for good!” He said coldly. Mr. Lynch suddenly went on his knees. “You can’t do this to me, sir Fred. I have never defaulted you before, have I? Surely, there must be an alternative that Mr. Reed had on the table.” Fred had given Mr. Lynch a hard time and has pushed him to a very tight corner. This was the plan. “Here is the deal, Mr. Lynch. Mr. Reed has two offers for you. First, you pay up the shares worth $200 Billion and you can have a good life ahead of you. Second…” he paused. “I’m all ears Mr. Fred. I will definitely opt in for the second option. I have no choice.” Mr Lynch admitted. “Secondly, we buy your company from you, employ you as the man

CHAPTER 70
“Hello, sir Elon!” Nathan walked up to him and gave him a firm handshake. Mr. Elon was a well-built man physically. From his biography, Nathan read that he came from nothing and had to build his way to the top. This made them even in a way. They both knew what it meant to have a bite of sand. “Sir, permit me, but I am guessing you have the wrong person.” the man at the receptionist did not back down. He was hellbent on exposing Nathan Reed. He walked up to Mr. Elon with the tablet in his hand and showed the news headline to Mr. Elon. “I might be the only one who knows it is definitely him because I have a good eye for recognizing people. You have to believe me, sir. This is him!” Jeff insisted. Mr. Elon took the tablet from his hand and examined the image carefully, then he handed the iPad to Nathan. “I see people are getting good with photo editing these days, Nathan. Have you sued this AdvaC yet? They need to be wiped clean from existence. Their greed got the best of them
